Primarily concerned with the body (broadly conceived), my work is situated at convergences of arts, health, healing, and activism. Focused on performance and performative articulations of identity and belonging, I research, teach, and create art that examines the influence of religion, culture, and social practices on the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and societies. I hold particular interest in the lives and aspirations of African Diaspora/Black Atlantic bodies in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
